08/16 - 156.3 - Hi, I'm back. I've been traveling for work and when I'm not traveling, I'm swamped trying to keep up with plant work. BF leaves for 3 weeks of training in AZ on Monday so I'm dog/house sitting for him and getting life together in that sense. I'm going to AZ next weekend to visit him and see the place (I've never been). Then its two more weeks without him. Wah. We do everything together so it might be a bit boring. But my neighbors will keep me entertained. TOM just ended so hopefully this number keeps going down. Also, with all my traveling my water intake is down and my inflammation is up. Hopefully with a few days of rest, I'll see some improvement.

Previous day's comments for R86

My highest weight was 197# at 5’4”. I’m 48 years old.
I was 189# when I first started keto (1/1/18), and had gotten down to 150# before I let life interrupt me.

Round 83 (my round 1) SW - 165.5, AW - 163.25
Round 84 (my round 2) SW - 160, AW - 161.2
Round 85 (my round 3) SW - 159.5, AW - 158.75

Round 86 (my round 4)
8/11 - 158.5 - holding steady with very gradual loss. Last day with mom quiltingjaine here. She flies home tomorrow leaving me with a freezer full of keto meals/entrées.
8/12 - 158 - and then the tummy revolted. And then quiltingjaine & I had a carb-full meal before she left to go home. Been eating some emotions today. Tomorrow it’s gym & sun and clean eating.
8/13 - 158 - glucose was up, but the rest of the numbers are good so far. May not get much sun today, but I’ll still hit the gym & watch my mouth!
8/14 - 157.5 - baby steps. Baby steps. Watched my food & got in a good workout yesterday. Rest day so errands today. And preparing for the next major life change - taking the baby to college.
8/15 - 157 - busy day of packing & loading ahead. 3 busy days ahead! I will be getting in my gym time today though.
8/16 - 157.5 - traveling the next few days, so no scale. Have to own my eating.

R86 - Day/Weight/Comment

08/11: 313.4 lbs (-1.3) ... a good way to start out the round! Completed Couch to 5k W1D3 this morning.

08/12: 313.9 lbs (+0.5) … small fluctuation, I’ll attribute to it a bigger dinner last night (steak!), though I was still under my budget. 6 mile bike ride this morning.

08/13: 313.2 lbs (-0.7) … good stuff! That matches my previous low. Letting myself rest a bit today cardio-wise.

08/14: 312.5 lbs (-0.7) … that’s a new low for me, and under my goal for this round… just need to hold onto that loss and not fluctuate up too much in the next six days. Completed Couch to 5k W2D1 this morning. I was very winded by the end of the jogging intervals, but I made it through them! Joined a gym this week and I’m going to check it out and poke at some strength training tonight for the first time.

08/15: 312.3 lbs (-0.2) … continuing my downward trend. It’s been a good week. Didn’t accomplish much at the gym, it was fairly overwhelming - so many machines/devices in there that I don’t have the faintest idea what to do with - so I just walked on the treadmill for a while and watched others. Signed up for 3 personal training sessions to get me started.

08/16: 312.9 lbs (+0.6) … small uptick. Honestly, I expected more than this. I forgot about dinner and didn’t eat until almost 10pm, which definitely showed on the scale this morning. I still have some soreness in my left leg and my stomach felt off this morning, so I decided to push my next run off a day.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/11 – 132.6 – Went to a birthday party and enjoyed a piece of cake. Following the kids must've helped balance it out.
08/12 – 133.0
08/13 – 132.4 – TOM. Didn’t eat enough calories yesterday and fell asleep early.
08/14 – 132.0 – Most of my calories were at the end of the day yesterday, which isn’t my normal but has happened a couple of times recently. I was having a busy, stressful, not good day. Used to be I would have eaten, instead I didn’t want to eat anything.
08/15 – 132.4
08/16 – 131.6 – Yesterday I scheduled my biometric check (for my employer’s insurance) for 9/11. I am actually kind of excited about it this year. 1-I am finally in a healthy weight range, 2-It is almost 4 weeks away so I am hoping to be in the 120s by then, 3-My fasting glucose was borderline last year, and after having gestational diabetes 3 years ago, I am hoping to see that come back in the normal range.

Round 84 SW 168.1 EW 167.4 DIF -.7

Round 86 SW 168.2 EW TBD!

8/11 169.1 I didn't post this weekend though I did track. Foodwise I was ok except for Saturday I was over by 300 or so calories. Basically at maintenance. Which is no biggie really other than the fact that I have somehow pulled my hamstring. I can't walk. I haven't walked since Thursday. My leg hurts when I do walk... My mental health state misses walking already. Sharing your house with two people is challenging, more so when one can't go upstairs or drive so they're in the living/kitchen/bathroom 24/7 and the other has mental health challenges. I did spend a lot of time with my great-niece. Please see the pic of miss Sassypants watching Toy Story and at the park with my convalescing friend. We ALL needed out of the house. Too bad it was so miserably hot even at 10:00 a.m.

8/12 168.2 Some of the water gone. The best way to get over this hamstring thing is rest. No walking for at least 2 weeks. I have been doing some research on exercises you can do with the injury. The two that are options for me are the stationary bike and the rowing machine. I've never tried the rowing machine I might give it a whirl over the next couple of weeks. I'm proud of myself that I'm not letting this stop my exercise schedule. Yes, it's going to jack with my schedule and I HATE that (OCD has many forms ) but it's not an excuse to sit on my booty. I won't lie the Saturday late-night muffin MIGHT have been a little self-pity but I woke up with the right mind-set on Sunday.

8/13 168.0 Right direction. No gym last night, I had a hair appointment. The pain in my leg has already lessened. Good on calories though I miss the extra I get with exercise. It's been the hottest days of the year so I couldn't have walked outside anyway. Last night at 9:02 my weather app said feels like 100 degrees Fahrenheit. WOOHOO, I'm ready for the Ber months already.

8/14 169.1 Why up? My only guess is the new exercise is causing me to retain water. I rode the stationary bike last night for just under an hour. I was able to get my heart rate up and actually kind of liked it. Tuesdays are normally weight night so I think I'll stick to that and avoid anything that stresses my legs. It's so easy to get discouraged when you really think - it should be down today and instead it's up. The Water Retention Variable... a daily weigher's arch-nemesis.

8/15 168.3 Back down. I rode the bike instead of weights. I wanted to do an hour since I wimped out the night before. I think I could do an hour Plus. I may try on Saturday when I have more time and people aren't at home waiting for me to cook dinner. I'll do weights tonight. I had my days all mixed up yesterday, I thought it was Tuesday. I'm glad it's Thursday and am ready for Friday. I'm tired. BF is taking his youngest to college this weekend and his oldest will go back next Friday. It will be so weird to have both gone.

8/16 167.4 Down again, I'll take it! I was low on calories yesterday, I wasn't trying just wasn't hungry enough. I wish there were more days like that . I spent my hour at the gym doing weights and avoiding things that would involve my hamstring. It only cut out a couple of machines. I will be back on the bike this weekend. It kind of makes me want to ride a real bike. Maybe when the weather cools off I'll rent a bike. That's something different that I use to love. Happy Friday!!!

Round 86 (my 18th)

OSW 382.0
RSW 301.6

08/11 300.4 So close.

08/12 299.2 Yay!

08/13 299.8 First thank you everyone!! I’m far from the finish line, but it’s so nice to hit this point in my journey. It’s been a long time since I’ve been under 300. My next big goal is 250, that will be my lowest weight in about 20 years.
I’m not surprised by a bounce, I’m just happy that it’s not higher. Yesterday I was hungry and craving high calorie, high sodium foods. I knew that I wasn’t thirsty so I ended up opting for some high sodium soup that I could fit into my calories. I felt a lot better afterwards. My nsv yesterday was listening to what my body needed without going on a binge.

08/14 299.8 I’m okay with maintaining I’m still retaining some water from the high sodium day. I’m also a little stiff and sore this morning from deep cleaning and rearranging my kitchen. Lastly I’m still waiting for tom to show, but I’ve had a few of the signs that it should arrive in a few days. I struggled a lot less yesterday and even turned down ordering dinner in because of a stressful afternoon and instead stayed on plan. I’m really proud of myself for not turning to food and to deal with my stress.

08/15 299.4 Hopefully I’ll keep dropping I’d love some more distance from 300.


08/16 298.6 I was out and about yesterday and will probably be again today or tomorrow. It’s been a long time since I’ve been out and about, I hated being seen and hated how much effort it took just to get to the car. Because of this I planned a HUGE dinner because I hadn’t had much earlier in the day. However as I was measuring it out I stopped at about half my planned portions of everything going I think this is more than enough. In the past I would have easily eaten three times the amount I had planned to serve myself. As a result after dinner I was under 1200 calories for the day, so I treated myself to an ice cream bar that was well within my calories and macros.
All in all it was a very good day. My nsv was walking around Walmart, I hadn’t walked in a store for at least three years.

OSW-187 Sept. 2019
Goal this round: 159
I have my coffee with all of you each morning, checking in.

8/11-168-I had a giant burrito after all of the hot sweaty yard work yesterday. I am excited to be starting a new round!
8/12-170-I am glad it’s Monday. It is so much easier to eat healthier during the week.
8/13-167-Good food choices, no chips or a drink while I made dinner.😳My friend and I went horseback riding this morning and now I’ll do half of my big walk and start in on the laundry, housework and quilting......it’s supposed to be hot.
8/14-166-I’ve been eating my big meal at lunch and just having a protein shake at dinner and I feel so much better late in the evening without heavy food in me. I’ll get my 7 mile walk in and hopefully some yoga.
8/15-165-I hope I can keep the downward roll. I will walk, quilt and swim today. Later I will go help start setting up a fundraiser.
8/16-165-At least I stayed there.While we were setting up at the fundraiser, someone came around with a big tub of “evil” deep fried tortillas and I took one and ate it....why? I would have weighed a pound less this morning without that crap in me!

@ajhouse and @Hilogirl2018 I also need some firming/toning. MAYBE I’ll get those BeachBody videos out.

@MBabydoll You can do this! Be mindful of your eating and cry if you need to. Baby bird leaving the nest can be hard but I know you can handle it! You can lose during this weekend or your cortisol may prevent it. Just hold on in case the ride is rough. And remember we love ❤️ you!

@merph518 If you forgot about dinner until 10PM you must not have been hungry. If you aren’t HUNGRY don’t eat! Listen to your body, don’t eat just because it is mealtime.

@Ahanaz Your gain was probably mostly water retention from eating what you hadn’t been eating. Just cutting back on carbs makes a huge difference for me.

@ConfidentRaven WTG! I love walking around Walmart and Sam’s Club! Keep up the good work!
